If ceramics spark your curiosity, then do pay a visit to the Museum of Trade Ceramics in Hoi An, Vietnam. Displaying ancient ceramics, most of which originate from the 8th to 18th centuries from countries such as Japan, China and of course, Vietnam, ceramic lovers are treated to a visual extravaganza. This is a great place to learn about the history of trade in Hoi An, teaching all those who visit about the integral role that the city played as a port, as well as its relationship with neighbouring countries. It is not just the collection of the museum, but the building itself that is also of remarkable interest. The restored wooden house is a typical example of a house in the old quarter, built in the 19th century. In fact, you are encouraged to take a look around the house, to understand the architecture of it more thoroughly. For a glimpse into Vietnamese culture and trade, the Museum of Trade Ceramics truly hits the spot.
